Pack your things, we are going on a Celebrity Bear Hunt! Coming to screens, the competition show follows some unlikely celebrities as they face the ultimate jungle predator-Bear Grylls.

The series will be available on Netflix on February 5th, 2025. The official trailer has been hunted down and released.
PREMISE
Holly Willoughby hosts this action-packed competition show. It sees a group of unlikely celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators. Bear Grylls. Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all – even the celebs. But how strong is their will to survive? As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’. A brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down by Bear himself. And, if captured, face elimination from the show.
